The first dysfunction has the name hypohidrosis; the second condition is called anhidrosis. - When your body feels that its temperature is rising, it produces a lot of sweat to cool down. To do this, it uses a whopping 2 to 4 million sweat glands, which are situated all over your body. - Stressful moments like an important exam or interview, a first date with a person you like a lot, or a presentation you have to make in front of a big audience can cause most people to sweat a lot. - Some medications cause diaphoresis, a common side effect characterized by excessive sweating. - What you eat can also influence how much you sweat. Spicy foods, such as chili peppers, trick your body into believing that the temperature around it is rising. As a result, your body starts to produce more sweat to prevent overheating. - One of the most likely (and absolutely healthy) reasons for uncontrolled perspiration is hot and humid weather. By sweating a lot, your body protects you from overheating. - Admittedly, experienced gym-goers who are in better shape don't sweat as much as newbies. When you're finishing your workout, take some time to cool down. - Those who have diabetes typically sweat more than normal. One of the reasons is that people with this medical condition often have excess weight. This means more work (and, accordingly, more sweat) for the body. - If you realize that you sweat more than others, you may simply have more sweat glands than the people around you. - During pregnancy, the blood flow and metabolism in a woman's body increase, causing the body to sweat more. Some women don't stop sweating after giving birth because their bodies are still trying to figure out proper hormone levels. - Puberty brings voice cracks, pimples, and growth spurts. But one more, less widespread symptom of puberty is 3 million energetic sweat glands! - According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, there are more than 15.3 million people with hyperhidrosis in the US. They may have general hyperhidrosis or the type that’s isolated to a particular area on their body: the feet, forehead, or hands, for example.
